chapter 9

3. Tides with the greatest range, occurring during new and full moons.
4. A smaller, floating piece of ice broken from a larger mass.
5. The process where water changes from liquid to vapor, driving the hydrologic cycle.
10. The subsurface layer where soil contains both air and water.
11. Areas saturated with water, supporting aquatic vegetation.
15. Tides with the least range, occurring during quarter moons.
16. The outgoing tide, causing water levels to lower.
17. The release of water vapor from plants, contributing to evaporation.

1. The subsurface layer where all pore spaces are filled with water.
2. A thick, floating extension of a glacier over the ocean.
6. The largest ocean, differing from others in size, depth, and tectonic activity.
7. A large, floating mass of sea ice covering the ocean surface.
8. Water beneath Earth's surface, stored in soil or rock.
9. The incoming tide, causing water levels to rise.
12. The regular rise and fall of ocean levels caused by gravitational forces.
13. A large, floating mass of freshwater ice broken from a glacier.
14. The concentration of dissolved salts in ocean water, varying by location.
